Eat To The Beat

Blondie Eat To The Beat Lyrics
1.Dreaming

Lyrics:Harry/Stein
Music:Harry/Stein

When I met you in the restaurant you could tell I was no
debutante
You asked me what's my pleasure; 'A movie or a measure'?
I'll have a cup of tea and tell you of my dreaming
Dreaming is free
Dreaming, dreaming is free
I don't want to live on charity
Pleasure's real or is it fantasy?
Real to real is living rarity
People stop and stare at me we just walk on by
We just keep on dreaming
Feet, feet, walking a two mile
Meet, meet, meet me at the turnstile
I never met him I'll never forget him
Dream, dream, even for a little while
Dream, dream, filling up an idle hour
Fade away radiate
I sit by and watch the river flow
I sit by and watch the traffic go
Imagine something of your very own; something you can have and
hold
I'd build a road in gold just to have some dreaming
Dreaming is free
Dreaming, dreaming is free


2.The Hardest Part

Lyrics:Harry/Harrison
Music:Harry/Harrison

Twenty five tons of hardened steel, rolls on no ordinary wheel
Inside the armored car, ride two big armed guards
In a bulletproof vest, shatterproof glass, overdrive we're gonna
pass
Twenty five tons of hardened steel, rolls on no ordinary wheel
The hardest part of the armored guard
Big man of steel behind the steering wheel
Nitro and acetylene open la machine
No short heist no overnight big money
Take ya to Brazil
Bulletproof vest, shatterproof glass, overdrive we're gonna pass
Time bomb, greasy mob, count down ,hurry up, come on
The hardest part of the armored guard
Big man of steel behind the steering wheel
In a wire mesh cage with a twelve gauge
Radio - we're coming fast
Ooh need to feel some hardened steel
Deliver the big money deal
Of the armored guard here's what I heard
I'll tell you that he will no matter what you feel
The hardest part of the armored guard
Big man of steel behind the steering wheel
Twenty five tons of hardened steel deliver the big money deal


3.Union City Blue

Lyrics:Harry/Harrison
Music:Harry/Harrison

Oh-ho what are we gonna do?
Union, Union, Union City blue
Tunnel to the other side
It becomes daylight
I say he's mine
Oh power, passion plays a double hand
Union, union, union city man
Arrive climb up four flights to the orange side
Rearrange my mind (lines)
In turquoise Union, Union, Union City blue
Skyline, passion, Union City blue
Power, passion, plays a double hand
Union, union, union city man
I say he's mine
I have a plan
I say he's my Union City man
Oh-oh what are we gonna do?
Union, Union, Union City blue


4.Shayla

Lyrics:Harry/Stein
Music:Harry/Stein

Shayla worked in a factory
She wasn't history
She's just a number
One day she gets her final pay and she goes far away
Green trees call to me
I am free but life is so cheap
Scenery is still outside of me
All alone trapped by its beauty
Shayla turned to run away to leave in peace and end her stay
Years of fear were in her way
Lost in space and down she came
Suddenly some subtle entity, some cosmic energy, brushed her
like shadows
Down here we stop to wonder
'Cause on the freeway
Bright lights and thunder

6.Accidents Never Happen

Lyrics:Destri
Music:Destri

No I don't believe in luck
No I don't believe in circumstance no more
Accidents never happen in a perfect world
So I won't believe in luck
I saw you walking in the dark
So I slipped behind your footsteps for a while
Caught you turning 'round the block
Fancy meeting in a smaller world
After all accidents never happen
Could have planned it all
Precognition in my ears
Accidents never happen in a perfect world
Complications disappear
Now you love me
I yeah I can tell
I never lied
I never cried
And you, you knew so well
Like the Magi on the hill
I can divinate your presence from afar
And I'll follow you until
I can bring you to a perfect world
Accidents never happen in a perfect world
Accidents never happen


7.Die Young Stay Pretty

Lyrics:Harry/Stein
Music:Harry/Stein

Die young stay pretty
Deteriorate in your own time
Tell 'em you're dead and wither away
Are ya living alone or with your family?
a dried up twig on your family tree?
Are ya waiting for the reaper to arrive?
Or just to die by the hand of love?
Love for youth love for youth
So die young and stay pretty
Leave only the best behind
Slipping sensibilities
Tragedy in your own dream
Oh ya sit all alone in your rocking chair
Transistor pressed against an ear
Were ya waiting at the bus stop all your life?
Or just to die by the hand of love?
Love for youth love for youth
So live fast 'cause it won't last
Dearly near senility
Was it good or maybe you won't tell?


8.Slow Motion

Lyrics:Davis/Destri
Music:Davis/Destri

What's all that commotion going on?
The boy in the back on his second attack wants his baby back
Wants his baby back
What's all that commotion that you hear?
The girl in the back who was doing the quake got a belly ache
She can't concentrate
Pick up the beat you can move like you're made out of vapor
'Catch me if you can', is what she said with her hands
Come on and take me back
Can you take her back?
When she gives you the beat and you get the shine
The world slows down and she stops on a dime
Got a number when you close your eyes like a real magician
Still she knows she'll never lose a thing
She can put you up on a shelf until she wants to pull the string
Still you know she'll never slip away
Keep time in your head counting in your head
Slow motion
I can play with time
I can keep today but tomorrow's fine
Stop and look at the pictures rolling in your head
Slow motion
You can play with time
You can leave her today but tomorrow's fine
Stop and live in your dreams at night rolling in your bed
Slow motion you can stop on a dime
Slow motion you ought to try it sometime
Take me back on another track
Take me back, take me back
Slow motion you can pick up the beat
Slow motion you can stop on the street
Take me back on another track
Take me back, take me back


9.Atomic

Tonight
Make me tonight
Your hair is beautiful
Oh tonight
Atomic
Atomic
Oh


10.Sound-A-Sleep

Lyrics:Harry/Stein
Music:Harry/Stein

Close your eyes and you will see micro flashing neon lights
Open your eyes and you will see it still looks like the same
thing
Lie and wait for sleep and listen to your heart beat too fast
for sleep
Close your eyes and you will see the sound-a-sleep
I want to go I want to go I want to go down to go to sleep
Your frame of reference is my swimming pool
My, my swimming pool still looks like the China Sea
Pool to sea and finally the sound-a-sleep
Feel the muscles in your face twitch relax
Remembering everything that went down and will go down
I want to go down to sleep
Insomnia no sleep disease pennies parking feed me please
Lie and wait for sleep and listen to your heart beat too fast
for sleep


11.Victor

Lyrics:Harry/Infante
Music:Harry/Infante

Oh I don't want you to go!
Oh please don't leave me alone!
Oh!
No I don't want you to go!
Oh please don't leave me alone!
Oh!

Dear Annett
Soon I'll be with you before they know before the show
I'm not a whore I dance no more I'll be with you across the
border
Dearest Anastasia I'm leaving soon
I'm sorry too but burn this letter Burn my picture
They won't know I've crossed the border
Love Victor
Oh I don't want you to go!
Oh don't leave me alone!
Oh!


12.Living In The Real World

Lyrics:Destri
Music:Destri

Every day you've go to wake up and disappear behind your makeup
Take away your calendar watch and you can't keep track until
your heart attack
Hey I'm living in a magazine page to page in my submarine!
Hey now Cindy you can't get to me need an elevator
Hey I'll see you later 'cause I'm not living in the real world
I'm not living in the real world
I'm not living in the real world no more, no more
Yeah
I can be whatever I want to
I talk to me I even agree
Every day's a holiday
You can look through the glass and take a photograph
You will never ever walk on the moon leave your body and float
through the room
You could never conquer me 'cause I'm not here and you're not
there
And I'm not living in the real world
I'm not living in the real world
I'm not living in the real world no more, no more
Yeah
Didn't I ever tell you I was gone?
Didn't I ever tell you I was gone?
Bye, bye!
I can do anything at all
I'm invisible and I'm twenty feet tall
Pull the plug on your digital clock and it all goes dark and the
bodies stop
Hey I'm living in a magazine page to page in my teenage dream
Hey now Mary you can't follow me without a satellite
I'm on a power flight 'cause I'm not living in the real world
I'm not living in the real world
I'm not living in the real world no more, no more
I'm not living in the real world
I'm not living in the real world
I'm not living in the real world no more, no more, no more
No more, no more, no more
No more, no more, no more
